Linda Mary Montano and Imogen Holloway Gallery proudly presentArt For The Pole(HOW TO MAKE ART OF AN UNHAPPY LIFE INCIDENT)The Art/Life Institute & Transfiguration Hospital, 9 John Street, Saugerties, NY "In front of The Art/Life Institute & Transfiguration Hospital is a pole, designed by CENTRAL HUDSON, a company committed to excellence and environmental beautification. Since the upgraded and replaced new pole is so much closer to my home, bigger and more tumescent than the one there previously, I thought it would be fabulous if we celebrated it's unwanted erection with an aesthetic intervention. And maybe when I sell this home my family owned since 1947 the new owners might even carry on the tradition of making ART OF AN UNHAPPY LIFE INCIDENT, thereby assuaging the vagaries of re-sale value and defaced nature? Diane Dwyer﻿ of Imogen Holloway Gallery and I will gather your concepts for beautification and conceptual distraction." --Linda Mary Montano

ANGELA GAFFNEY SMITH March, 2014 "These mother and child linocuts are part of a series I have been working on for three years. Marbles in twenty pockets represent the lives of children killed in Newtown, Ct. We can’t forget them. The top border holds broken crayons, a symbol of childhood lost and broken families. All these elements are sewn together in a protective screening, which is what we need when it comes to the sale of firearms in this country." --Angela Gaffney Smith

MICHAEL NELSONFebruary, 2014These photos were taken in Rankin Inlet, Nunavuut, while on assignment photographing Inuit Art. With the protruding telephone poles against the arctic sky, they seem appropriate for the 'telephone pole project on John st'. Throw in the arctic vortex that has come our way in the last month, it's also a friendly reminder of where our neighbors from the North live." --Michael Nelson

ELIN MENZIES January, 2014"Every spring I paint these same flowers, irises, poppies, peonies and spider wort. It is an annual ritual that fits the ephemeral nature of Art For the Pole. The flowers are old friends that appear for a short while and have to leave but bring joy while they’re around. I hope the pictures of them on the pole do the same."--Elin Menzies
